FDA Extends Compliance Date for Tobacco Ingredient Submissions

January 11, 2017

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently issued a guidance that extends the compliance dates for tobacco ingredient submissions for newly deemed tobacco products introduced into interstate commerce on or before August 8, 2016. FDA plans to enforce the ingredient list submission requirement on August 8, 2017 for businesses that are not small-scale manufacturers, and on February 8, 2018 for small-scale manufacturers. The original date for compliance was February 8, 2017.

The compliance deadlines have been extended to allow manufacturers and importers additional time to prepare quality submissions. The extension also allows some manufacturers to submit multiple lists for multiple tobacco products.

Ingredient submissions should include the following information:

Manufacturer/Importer Identification

Product Identification

Ingredient Identification

Ingredient Quality
